I was all for Spoon and all, but it just seems like this top secret organization with some very select people that drive its decisions. I also feel like it will eventually begin to fragment the community into the "We-are-with-Spoon" committers vs. the "We-are-lone-rangers" committers. I know the Spoon guys have stated on several occasions that its all open etc... but really, its not. The "monthly" newsletter was sent in November, its been 2, going on 3, months since the "monthly". No one really knows what the agenda is except for the core officers, and it just feels like there's a bunch of things going on over there that should be happening on this list as opposed to some secret hiding place where only but a few can listen in. I am probably completely wrong about this, but if we learned anything about anything during the 11/9 announcements its that perception carries a lot of weight, and my perception of Spoon right now is not really the best... not really bad... but not really good either. -omar
